Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[glamourdolleyes]

They did away with them. I don't think that the contents were any better though, I think you just got a cuter pink box. Could be wrong though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh and it was only if you were an annual subscriber.

From my understanding, when you hit your 1 year anniversary month, you'd get a "better" box that was bright pink rather than plain cardboard.. did this change? Am I crazy? lol 

I was really looking forward to that box and I hope that's still in effect!! Does anyone know what happened? :/

Box 4 for me! So excited about the eyeko skinny eyeliner and the YuBe moisturizer and even the rose water. I've got a full-size Stainiac (and love it) so the mini will be going in my travel makeup bag. And fiance loves cologne so that men's sample will go to good use! 

Way to go, birchbox!

The Luna Bars are much better.  Some of them are almost like a not too sweet cookie.  I agree, the Larabars are pretty disgusting.

I have been a member since October, and I seen to always get the sub-par boxes. The only box I liked was January's, because I got Stila. My sister has gotten excellent boxes though! She got Stila last month AND this month. Last month, I got the crappy one with a grey headband and the Dr. Jarts. This month I'm getting the box with men's cologne and skin cream. UGH.

I just got back from an Internet free camping trip, I was super happy to see my shipping notice in my inbox!! I am getting box 12, which is ok with me, I have been wanting to try falsies but I never wanted to buy them, getting them this way is super!

Looks like I'm getting box #19 (https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/june-2012/june12box19) with a shipment notice weight of .4290! A bit disappointed, since my profile says tan and I'm getting the self-tanning wipes. Really?! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> This is only my 2nd month. Third strike and you're out BB!

First box that I am not totally excited about. Teen Vogue with the Lipsurgence and the Microdermamitt in the next and Stila eyeliner last month. This month I am getting box #24. The items will be practical for my trip to Sedona and leave in conditioner for the water park. Useful just not exciting. Sunless tanner may help even out my gross peeling back from my first ever sunburn.

Just received my shipping notice and my box weighs the same as yours - I checked Birchbox with the feedback method which confirmed I, too, will be getting Box 19. I'll probably be trading most of it. Kind of a ho-hum box for me.

This will be my 2nd BB and I couldn't be more excited. I'm getting box #2

stila one step bronze: i believe this is the full size so I'm super excited fro this.
Wonder struck Taylor Swift 3.4 oz-ughhh perfume sample
theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac-I'm willing to try it
luner bar- ummm this is not a makeup sample i don't want food

same as me - that's box #2 according to Zadi's list . there's some self tanner in it too

i'm a bit bummed i didn't get any of the lifestyle extras that are new! the bandaids or the bags . the HEADBAND awww, or even the men's cologne. i can get a luna bar at the gas station /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the rest is nice though, except the perfume that is NOT new either.

excited for the stila bronzer and the stainiac ! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My first post, and I am a little grumpy. I think I  got box 21 (floral water, bandaids, stainiac, juliette, pore mask) with a ship weight of .5205.  And I think it's crap.  Why is mine only 5 items?  No Modcloth headband, Stila or Eyeko?  It seems like one of those things should have been in there. Why does it seem like the value is so spread out?  At least I didn't get a lara bar.  And the stainiac seems like it might be ok. 

This is only my second month of Birchbox and I got a the Dr. Jart almost empty bottle last month, and the fresh lip stuff which I already have a ton of from Sephora and hate.  

I stopped it this month before I even found out what the box was. I'll try sample society this month.  See if I like it any better.

 

[tinycity]

from the feedback method & zadidoll's list it looks like i'm getting box 8. pretty disappointed. most of it will be going up for trade ( so if anyone wants the bandaids..! )

Bummer because i was going to judge this month on whether i canceled my subscription..

I'm getting box #8.  Out of all of the boxes, this is the one I like the least.  I cant complain though, as I have always gotten great boxes in the past.  Last month I got the Diorshow mascara, and the Keratase products, the month before that it was the Revolution, and all the ones before that were great boxes.  I'll use the moisturiser with the SPF50, and the Stainiac, and keep an open mind about the bronzer and mask.   I cant remember the last night time I needed a bandaid, but good to have in the house I suppose. 

We got the same box (found mine via feedback method. another meh!

I feel like there were a lot of meh boxes,  mostly because there aren't any full size items in them. They really need to do a better job at spreading the wealth between boxes.

Exactly. Some boxes had at least 2 of the higher products and then it seem like they just threw the lower junk in the rest.

According to the feedback method i'll be getting Stila's One Step Bronzer(Highlight) so I will be trading that. 

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

so i am really curious about the Joya Âmes perfume~
if anyone wants to trade that for the Wonderstruck or is just planning on tossing it ? let me know
